Windows 10 Windows 10 uses 100% of harddisk

[BennieEngelbrecht]

With the last couple of updates, i see that my HDD usage is 100% on my primary HDD, even when only Task Manager is running. I have searched online and disabled Windows Search and SysMain. It help for awhile, but i am back at square one. With each update or roll back (had to roll back because I could not log into my user account), i have to disable Windows Search and SysMain. All my drivers is up to date, I even did a Scan Disk.


In Task Manager, there is multiple instances of the following as well:.

1. COM Surrogate
2. Device Association Framework Provider Host
3. Host Process for Windows Tasks
4. Kaspersky Secure Connection
5. Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry
6. MSS CS Connectivity Service
7. NVIDIA Container
8. Runtime Broker
9. Client Server Runtime Process
10. Windows Console Host
11. Local Host: Local Service (network Restricted)
12. Local Host: Local System
13. Service Host: Network Service

It gets so bad, that my PC freezes up if I move between Outlook and Excel, or between different instances of Excel even.


Another problem is that I run a 32 bit machine, but Windows only uses 3.5GB of a total of 16GB of RAM, as can be seen in Task Manager.


I am currently on Evaluation copy.Build 20246.fe_release.201024-2009.
